COVID - general discussion - Temp Locked

Here is a bit of fun:

Vaccination Queue Calculator

100% 😀

Yes, I acknowledged that. 3rd para.

Your 3rd para states:

It certainly means those unvaccinated folk will spread the disease thus putting the NHS and its staff under stress and at risk.

I'm making the point that unless the vax is proven to prevent the spread of the disease it will continue to be spread by anyone unfortunate enough to catch it, whether they have been vaccinated or not.  

I am quite willing to swop the word “thick” for badly informed, lacking in education/research if that helps, but I stand by the selfish I am afraid. And if that constitutes a Dictatorship, then heaven help us is all I can say.

Taking a research based, persuasive, educated approach, encompassing as many folks as possible for the greater good of all, is simply common sense as far as I am concerned. If that means debunking conspiracy theories, getting religious and cultural leaders on board, using influential peer figures and groups to lead campaigns, doing something so that you will be there to see your loved ones grow up, help keep your older relatives and friends safe, then I fail to see how it can be anything less than a good thing.

Fear is something entirely different, and I can respect that, but again, education and a listening, reassuring approach might win over some doubters.

Bloody minded stands on principle, the “I’m not being told what to do” intransigence, that’s something else. Usually ends badly for someone.

You are either a willing part of the solution, or you are part of the problem. (Exempting of course all those who cannot for one reason or another medically be included) 🤷‍♀️

If that’s meant to be comforting Mike, it isnt😂 In fact, I rest my case.....

Boris seems to be an advocate of freedom, freedom of choice and self determination.  I can't see any government under him forcing people to have a vaccination they don't want.  

Vaccines that does stop you getting Covid or spreading it no long time tests think I mite wait for more information before i take it my body my choice 

Yes, as I said, I acknowledged that. 

Perhaps the following extracts will help.

Vax’d folk - "Getting vaccinated may not stop us carrying the disease...."

Non vax'd folk - "It certainly means those folk will spread the disease..."

And the definition of a carrier -

An asymptomatic carrier (healthy carrier or just carrier) is a person or other organism that has become infected with a pathogen, but that displays no signs or symptoms. Although unaffected by the pathogen, carriers can transmit it to others or develop symptoms in later stages of the disease. Asymptomatic carriers play a critical role in the transmission of common infectious diseases such as typhoid, HIV, C. difficile, influenzas, cholera, tuberculosis and COVID-19.....

Sorry, don’t understand what you are trying to say🤔
